Our story

A hybrid model, built for real impact.

Action For Sustainability Initiative (AFOSI) is a lean, technology-backed local NGO addressing challenges across health, education, livelihoods, leadership and governance, climate justice and humanitarian support.

Our flagship initiatives, Sheria ya Vijana, M.A.T.H, Youth Voices Lab, and YOMA Projects, are implemented through our digital tools, including the Kiongozi Platform, Kenya Youth Climate Hub (KYCH), and Afosi Hub startup management platform.

We adopt a hybrid implementation model combining the community reach and trust of a grassroots NGO with the innovation and agility of social enterprises, creating sustainable impact across Kenya.

How we work

Three moves, on repeat.

01

Grassroots reach

We work where communities are, building trust before we build programs, with youth and women at the center.

02

Digital innovation

Our own platforms extend reach, cut cost and make every intervention trackable and repeatable at scale.

03

Measured impact

Every program is designed to be evaluated, learned from and sustained, not just delivered once.

We envision a world where every young person, regardless of gender, ability or background, can harness their full potential to build sustainable, thriving communities.
